QuickClip Capture Manager

An Obsidian plugin that renders and manages clips saved by the QuickClip Capture Chrome extension.

QuickClip Capture is a web clipper built for Obsidian — highlight text, clip full pages, save tweets, PDF excerpts, YouTube timestamps, and images directly into your vault. This plugin handles the Obsidian side: polished reading view cards for every clip type, and a Clip Manager to browse, filter, tag, and annotate everything you've saved.

Requirements

The QuickClip Capture Chrome extension must be installed and configured to save clips into your Obsidian vault. Install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Features

Reading View — Clip Cards

Every clip type is rendered as a polished card in Reading view:

• Highlights — collapsible cards with quoted text, source link, tags, captured date, and one-click delete; collapsed by default with a summary header; expand state persisted across sessions
• Full-page clips — complete Markdown article with author, publish date, site pill, word count, and a reading progress bar that appears as you scroll
• YouTube / Vimeo clips — embedded video player with clickable timestamp chips that seek the video; sortable clip table with per-row delete
• Tweets — native Twitter/X embed with badge, date, and delete
• PDF highlights — quoted text with source file link and page number; local PDFs open in your default app
• Images — inline image with caption and metadata

Clip Manager

A dedicated panel (accessible from the ribbon or command palette) to browse everything you've clipped:

• Filter by clip format, domain, date range, or whether a note exists
• Inline editing: update tags, add or edit notes, change content type — all written back to the source .md file
• Sortable, resizable columns; show/hide and reorder columns to your preference
• Click any clip to open the source file in Reading view, scrolled to that clip
• Delete clips directly from the table

Settings

• Callout colors — customize the accent color for each clip type
• Row density — compact, comfortable, or spacious
• Snippet length, date format, file path display, and more
• Confirm before delete toggle
• Auto-open on startup — open the Clip Manager automatically when Obsidian loads
• Migration tool — one-click migration of clips saved in the old format to the current callout structure (shown only when old-format clips are detected)
